About the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum
In Hanoi, Vietnam, the President Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum serves as the final resting place of President Ho Chi Minh, a Vietnamese revolutionary leader. It is a large building at the heart of Ba Đình Square, the place where, on September 2, 1945, Ho read the Declaration of Independence, which founded the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. Ho led the Workers' Party of Vietnam as its chairman between 1951 and his death in 1969.
On September 2, 1973, building work started; the mausoleum opened formally on August 29, 1975. Lenin's Mausoleum in Moscow inspired it, though it adds distinct Vietnamese architectural elements such as a sloping roof. Gray granite covers the exterior, and the interior uses polished stone in gray, black and red. It rises 21.6 m (70 ft 10 in), with two seven-step platforms alongside for viewing parades.
Nearly 250 plant and flower species, all from different regions of Vietnam, grow in the gardens around the mausoleum, and a plaza of green squares divided by pathways lies in front of it. The portico carries the inscription President Ho Chi Minh across it. The Ho Chi Minh Memorial Complex lies west of the square and contains the Ho Chi Minh Museum along with his stilt house.

- Row of slender columns
- A row of slender columns runs around the upper level. Print friendly adapts thin columns to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, which suits a larger print. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep their edges crisp.
- Wide stepped roof slab
- A wide, flat roof slab in stacked steps overhangs the columns. Printing slowly with good cooling helps the overhang stay clean, and a bigger print size keeps the steps distinct.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors

- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.

Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum grows with the print: about 6 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
